Arsenal can move 10 points clear at the top of the Premier League tomorrow if they take care of business and beat Everton at the Emirates Stadium.

But that cushion still might only last a few hours as Manchester City also travel to West Ham on Saturday evening.

Nonetheless, it's a chance for the Gunners to raise the temperature in the race against City, though they will need to respond professionally following a sub-par performance against Bayer Leverkusen in Germany on Wednesday.

Arsenal beat the Toffees 1-0 at the Hill Dickinson Stadium back in December when Viktor Gyokeres blasted home the winner from the penalty spot.

Here's how football.london reporters Tom Canton and Ryan Taylor would line up for the contest.

I want to see some changes, and I think that Bukayo Saka should sit this one out and be ready for the return leg against Bayer Leverkusen. Noni Madueke should be rewarded for his impact, which ended up helping the Gunners score.

Kai Havertz moves into the number ten role for me in the hope it can bring more out of Viktor Gyokeres. There is some real potential in there, but with Martin Odegaard still out, change is needed in the midfield.

The last main change other than Eze being pushed to the left is to bring Riccardo Calafiori back in on the left, resting Hincapie for midweek. The Italian is also another capable of providing some additional progression and that has been lacking of late.

Canton’s Arsenal XI vs Everton: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Zubimendi, Rice, Havertz; Saka, Eze, Gyokeres.

I don't like the notion that anybody could already be thinking about next week's second leg against Bayer Leverkusen.

Everton are in decent form and can hurt anyone in the division on their day, so Arsenal must approach this game with maximum respect.

I think the back-four (five including David Raya) should remain the same but I'd bring Kai Havertz in at No.10 ahead of Martin Zubimendi and Declan Rice.

I'd then mix up the attack, bringing Bukayo Saka out to the left as his form has been patchy of late.

Noni Madueke's impact from the bench against Bayer Leverkusen was enough, in my view, to earn him a rare start.

Gabriel Martinelli has not done enough to warrant keeping his place in the side for a fourth successive game.

Viktor Gyokeres starts in attack too but his place is under threat as Havertz is knocking on the door for a potential start as the No.9 - for now, he's operating in attacking midfield in my team.

Taylor's Arsenal XI vs Everton: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie; Zubimendi, Rice, Havertz; Madueke, Saka, Gyokeres.
